Task #1 (Some Background)

Task #2 (Cornell Notes)

Directions:

Today we begin a new unit. We are going to examining kidnappings and the men and women behind these events. We are starting with one of the most famous in American history. The Lindbergh baby kidnapping. For our first day looking at this case we are going to set up a Cornell Note Sheet. Title your paper “The Lindbergh Kidnapping”. The essential question is “Who Killed the Lindbergh Baby?” Once we have done that we are going to examine this case. We are going to take a new approach though. We are going to use 2017 behavioral analysis skills that we have learned in this course to examine this case and see if the right person received the Death Penalty. Lastly, realize that the $50,000 ransom amount translates to about $620,000 + in 2017 dollars.
